[mato]

The Lovers Card in the World Spirit Tarot Deck is a gay couple. But the whole deck isn't about gay men.

Sorry, haven't seen one! Would be very interesting though, i must say! :)

I'm not gay, but I do love a challenge. You are right, there are precious little sites.
Or Maybe I'm just using the wrong keywords in my browser.
Anyway maybe these can provide some links for you to follow.

*bump* good links! They need to be aired!

You know I have never even though about a gay deck. Even though I am gay myself I'm not so sure I would want one. :lol:

I imagine there are some out there, and you're more likely to find lesbian ones.

This deck is geared towards lesbians. It comes with two Lovers cards, one with a heterosexual couple and one with a lesbian couple.

The Cosmic Tribe Tarot comes with Three Lovers cards. Heterosexual couple, a male couple and then a female couple so that you could choose the couple that is appropriate.

Parental Advisory: This is a nude deck.

There was gay magazine that had the major acrana in a suppliment -- I don't remeber which one though and the cards were not very good IMHO

There's also Brian Williams' Renaissance Tarot (they show it at http://www.aeclectic.net/renaissance/index.html ) which isn't specifically gay themed but will likely appeal to some gay male users.

I'm gay, and my first boyfriend gave it to me because he thought it looked pretty gay.

You know, as a gay guy, I really do not see how that tarot deck would appeal to gay guys, and here I thought I understand the typical gay male brain. :lol:

Doesn't really look all that gay either. :hrmm:

Ya it is a weird idea I just like the art that goes with tarot decks. I dont use them for divination or anything... There is a Lesbian deck and a deck for any tradition you may think of practicing and a 'fairy' deck but there is no spacific 'gay' deck... Could be a hot seller at any self respecting PRIDE event!
huh... GLBT tarot... hmmm.... Gay=wands (for fire) Lesbians=chalice Bi=athema (for air) transgender=penticale... lol just thinking out loud here... it's open to interpritation...

The elemental associations are one of the main reasons I do not purchase many tarot decks. Most decks, and practioners apparently, associate the athame with air and wands with fire, but I myself associate them in reverse.

But... looks like I'd be a wand! Hooray, wands are my favorite! Then again air is my personal favorite element so go figure. :smile:

like sexuality every thing is open to interpritation...

Never said it wasn't, but alas I would not feel comfortable using a deck with associations that differ from my own.

Look what I found for the boys at aeclectic.net forums...

New deck -- Gay Tarot
As Riccardo mentioned in another thread, Lo Scarabeo will be publishing the Gay Tarot, authored by Lee Bursten (that’s me!), with art by Antonella Platano, in the latter part of 2004.

This deck will be a gay-male-themed deck. It was my intent to focus specifically on gay men because I am one. Lo Scarabeo had originally planned to do a gay-and-lesbian deck, but I felt that lesbians have their own story and their own experience and it would be presumptuous for me to assume that I could do justice to it. Also, there are many woman-oriented decks out there, and some woman-only decks, but no men-only decks, so I thought this would be something new.
Let's hear it for the boys! (singing cheesy 80s song by someone I can't remember) Let's give the boys a deck...
